She went after what she wanted, and it had paid off. The proof was in the letter she’d received, saying her application had been accepted, and now all she had to do was find the person who sent it.

No matter how certain friends of hers back at university would have thought her outfit was ridiculous, she felt like her boots gave her a certain aura. That and a few extra inches of height, as she’d arrived at the tables holding the temporary IDs and swag bags. The IDs, she’d expected, but gifts had been unexpected. She’d gone in search for her ID first, grateful once she’d found it that it appeared whoever had lettered them had spelled her name right. It saved her from having to fix it, but then she discovered there was something else she needed to fix. She was not going to wear something that said she was property, even though she imagined in a way she was the property of her department now. Either way, she slipped her wand out and pointed it inside her bag, subtly changing the text on the shirt.

Then, she looked up. “Oh!,” she said softly, feeling another burst of pride in her accomplishment. Her department head was right there. She’d done her research before she’d come to London after all. Every good Auror did, and even if she was only a baby Auror in training, she wasn’t going to disappoint. So after that moment of surprise, the blonde walked over to the small group a few feet away from her. “I’m glad to meet you Mr. Yenorin, sir,” she said. She didn’t know what he’d prefer being addressed as, after all. It was simpler to cover her bases until she found out.

Gid was listening and watching everyone around them, smiling kindly at the new employees, both shy and not. It looked like a good group was coming in. Wait....did someone mentioned the tshirts? He blinked as he looked around at those that people were holding up and looking at. Oh nice.....interesting. He looked up as a young woman came close. "Nice to meet you as well" he said smiling at her, "You must be Bryony. Please. Call me Gid or Gidyun." he said taking a step closer to her and offering his hand to shake hers. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Text Cut: Regina

He made sure that Bryony felt free to join them as he listened to Regina "Good. I'm glad you've met my wife. She's unfortunately for me, way better at this than I am." he said softly with a laugh.

Text Cut: Becca

He smiled softly nodding in agreement about the workout room in the basement. They did use it often and it was good to have in the house. He grinned though at the comment about the drink "Not a bad idea honestly." Wait....was....

His eyes widened as he heard another new employee saying get off over and over and....on the floor? Did he honestly want to know what that was about? He did snicker a little though, when he noticed the cat on him.

It was going to be an interesting orientation to say the least.

I have a soundproof room in my house that allows me to do the spells that are perfect for defence." When Becca spoke about what people said, Regina felt uncomfortable. "I've had experiences where people pretend to be really nice to me but they're thinking otherwise. You didn't need to be a Legilimens to tell what they were thinking." He smiled softly as Regina spoke and nodded as she practiced her spells when she could. Regina saw the man who was going to be her boss. So she was talking to his wife and getting on quite well with her. This was a good start. "Hello, sir. I am fine. Becca has been helping me." Regina could understand why Albert was annoyed but she was in no mood to have someone being negative. However, civility was key. "I apologise for reading your mind. If I am nervous or upset, I have trouble controlling it. Can we start over? I'm not asking for us to be best friends but we'll act civil to each other." He made sure that Bryony felt free to join them as he listened to Regina "Good. I'm glad you've met my wife. She's unfortunately for me, way better at this than I am." he said softly with a laugh. Text Cut: Becca Quote: Originally Posted by Becky "Ah, that's a good idea! Gid and I have kind of made downstairs into a workout, sword skills and spellwork area." Becca nodded. "It's all fun and games in our house." A small laugh escaped, but she gave her an understanding nod at her words. "I understand, I've had that many times." When Gid came over, Becca glanced at him and resisted the temptation to elbow him hard. She turned to look at him and gave him a sickly sweet smile. "Hi honey! Well, I could do with a drink." She knew he wasn't talking to her, but hey, take the chance while she could! When Regina said that she'd been helping her, Becca smirked at her husband. "See? I didn't hurt anyone from your department. You can relax." When another tiny teeny itty bitty baby MLE person came over, Becca tilted her head at her. She was so cute! Could she pinch her cheeks? Please? A laugh escaped her when he spoke. "Exactly what I was hoping for!" She started to write down his thoughts on the t-shirt that she had taken from him. "I completely agree and I am hoping that the Minister will listen when I present her with these t-shirts and people's opinions on them." Fingers crossed, apparently Althea was a stubborn woman, but so was Becca! "Thank you very much for your input." "Oh? Do tell me all of the secrets that your umbrella holds!" Becca exclaimed, looking curious. "And please, please, please don't call me ma'am. I feel old when people say that!" Becca beamed at him as he introduced himself and instantly offered her hand to him for him to shake it. "Delighted to meet you! How would you like me to address you?" She could play nice. Most of the time. He smiled softly nodding in agreement about the workout room in the basement. They did use it often and it was good to have in the house.
